Description of works【Zebu cattle are the poster boys】
This earthenware with painted patterns was produced in the Balochistan region, which is at the periphery of where the Indus Valley Civilization flourished. The surface is filled with patterns of linden trees, goats, and zebu cattle. These large zebus are tied to cypress trees, which indicates they were sacred animals familiar to the people.
